OPERATION
OPTIONAL GUTTERBROOM OPERATION
The gutterbrooms are designed for sweeping for-
ward only. When sweeping next to curbs or walls with a
gutterbroom, only the bristle tips should touch the vertical
surface. When the gutterbroom height is properly adjust-
ed, bristles contact the ground as shown.
To adjust the gutterbroom height:
1. Lower the gutterbroom to the ground.
2. Loosen the hardware holding the gutterbroom mo-
tor mounting plate.
3. Turn the motor mounting plate to the left or right.
4. Adjust the tension chain so it holds the gutterbroom
in place.
5. Tighten the hardware holding the motor mounting plate.
A properly adjusted gutterbroom extends the main brush’s sweeping path, leaving no
streaks between the two paths. For this to happen the inside edge of the gutterbroom brush
pattern must line up with the outside edge of the sweeper brush pattern.
To adjust gutterbroom swing:
1. Loosen the nut.
2. Adjust the capscrew (turn it in for more swing or out for less swing).
3. Tighten the nut.
When not using the gutterbroom for a short period of time, adjust the tension chain until
the gutterbroom is raised 1” - 2” off the ground. When not using the gutterbroom for extended
periods of time, unhook the hydraulic hoses from the gutterbroom motor, remove the gutterb-
room assembly and connect the hydraulic hoses to run only the main sweeper.
OPTIONAL DUST SUPPRESSION
The dust suppression systems are available for a 12 Volt or 24 Volt system and both
contain a 25 gallon water tank and enough nozzles and hose to use with or without the option-
al gutterbrooms.
